I uploaded a video on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/kinako_anko_cacao_olive/ On my way back from a hospital visit, I went to pick up a prescription at the pharmacy. Part of it was not available, so they had to source it from a nearby affiliated pharmacy. I took this opportunity to walk for 5 minutes and headed to a "curry lunch"! I visited "Dramatic Curry Golden Nakazaki" located in the Tenjin Nakazaki shopping street, also known as "Oideyasu Street", right before the Nakazaki-cho exit. This place is a spice curry specialty shop run by the same owner as "Ramen Kozou", where Tatsuya Mishima, a former producer and curry craftsman of "Nippon Curry Alterna", is in charge. This was my second visit. Last time, I had the "Dramatic Ai Gake SP" with Kirin Heartland beer, which consisted of Golden Keema Curry and Beef Curry with Sesame and Togarashi. This time, I sat at the counter and ordered: - Dramatic Ai Gake SP (¥1848): Featuring domestic pork cutlet on top of Golden Keema Curry and Halloween SP Pumpkin Butter Chicken Curry. Since I was coming back from the hospital, I had to resist the urge to have beer and opted for the luxurious "Ai Gake SP" with tonkatsu. The "Dramatic Ai Gake" is a curry dish where two different characters of curry meet, creating a dramatic story of flavors in one plate. The domestic pork cutlet was fried as soon as I placed my order and was served on a nostalgic Japanese-style large plate. Let's dig in! The Golden Keema Curry with a spice level of 3 is a new sensation curry with a thick, transparent soup made from golden fish stock and a savory and meaty keema curry made with the re-brewed soy sauce from the soy sauce brewery "Matsumoto-ya" in Shimane Prefecture. The Halloween SP Pumpkin Butter Chicken Curry with a spice level of 4 was delicious with the sweetness of pumpkin and the richness of butter! The domestic pork cutlet was freshly fried, with a crispy coating and a substantial meaty texture. It was served with pickled mustard greens, Japanese-style sambal with carrots, pickled purple cabbage, bonito flakes, and cherry tomatoes, making the dish visually appealing. Mixing the two curries and side dishes together enhances the flavors, and adding the flavor-changing quartet (booster sauce, special Sichuan pepper oil, enchanting yuzu vinegar, secret spicy oil) provided on the table made the experience even more dramatic. Although I couldn't have beer, my stomach was full. The spice curry was delicious once again! After picking up the kidney stone-dissolving medication from the pharmacy, I rode my bike back home. Bon appétit! (●^o^●)

Located right near Nakazaki-cho Station, this popular spice curry specialty shop is in the Ten-go Nakazaki Shotengai shopping street. The interior has table seating and a counter, with a retro and calming atmosphere. The Dramatic Aigake Curry allows you to taste both the Golden Dashi Keema and Nakazaki Beef Curry at once. I love mixed curries, and the presentation in the vibrant blue bowls is so beautiful and elegant. I was surprised by the clear roux and the broth-like thickness with plenty of umami from seafood. Mixing it with the spicy minced meat was delicious. The Dashi Keema is spicy but with a deep flavor from the broth, which I enjoyed. I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I went for the regular level, which had just the right amount of spice. The Beef Curry was mildly spicy with a rich meaty flavor and a variety of toppings like bonito flakes, cherry tomatoes, mizuna, pickled vegetables, carrots, and purple cabbage, offering different textures and flavors. On the table, there are condiments like Sichuan pepper chili oil, yuzu vinegar, and booster sauce. Adding yuzu vinegar gives a refreshing taste, and the booster sauce is reminiscent of a light Worcestershire sauce with added sweetness and depth. The umami-rich spiced curry with a dashi base left me wanting more. Delicious!

Weekly special dramatic combination SP ¥1390 - Golden dashi keema curry and midsummer sesame sauce bam bam bunjee style curry. Mixing the refined light broth with rich keema curry creates a nice balance. Adding yuzu juice to the bam bam bunjee style curry enhances the acidity, giving it a Thai curry-like flavor, so it is recommended to include it.

This restaurant offers a dramatic and flavorful experience. My husband, who loves spice curry, has been raving about this place for a while, so we decided to finally give it a try. We ordered the Dramatic Ai-Gake Curry, which allows you to taste the popular Golden Dashi Keema and Nakazaki Beef Curry together. The Golden Dashi Keema is made with a clear and shiny broth from 8 carefully selected seafood ingredients, and the minced meat is tender with a savory soy sauce flavor. The combination is so good that you can't stop eating it! The Nakazaki Beef Curry has a European taste with a strong spice flavor and a light texture thanks to the Veggie Potage and pure pork bone soup. The tender sweetness and umami of the beef are outstanding. The colorful side dishes like carrot sunbowl, purple cabbage pickles, and mustard greens achar add a nice touch to the meal. You can enjoy the curry as it is or mix it up with the side dishes. The Dramatic Flavor Trio allows you to customize the spiciness of the beef curry with flower pepper chili oil, refreshing yuzu vinegar, and a booster sauce. I personally loved the refreshing taste of the yuzu vinegar. Overall, the balance of flavors in both curries was excellent and highly enjoyable.

Located about a 5-minute walk from Nakazakicho Station, this restaurant is nestled within a shopping street. They serve both lunch and dinner, with seating available at the counter and tables. The Dramatic Aigake Curry was so delicious that I definitely plan on coming back. The staff explained how to eat it, starting with the clear broth first, and when I followed their instructions, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavorful yet gentle taste of the broth. The aroma was amazing! I resisted the temptation to just eat that and instead mixed the curry on the left with the Keema curry. The Keema curry had a sudden strong spice kick! The combination of these three was fantastic. The regular curry is said to be mildly spicy, and you can choose the level of spiciness. I tried adding the flower pepper chili oil and yuzu vinegar on the table for a flavor change halfway through, and both were recommended. Especially the yuzu vinegar, which added a nice tightness to the flavor.

The restaurant opened on a Sunday night without any wait, and although it's a bit of a walk to the nearby coin parking, the drama of finding a spot adds to the experience. The dish I ordered was the Three-Element Pork Cutlet Curry for 1830 yen. The curry itself is quite traditional, but you can mix in three different condiments to tailor it to your taste. The pork cutlet is a must-have, adding texture and flavor to the curry. Overall, the curry may be a bit pricey, but it's worth it for the delicious flavors you can create.

This is a shop located a 3-minute walk from Nakazakicho Station! It's located in a shopping street, so you can get there without getting wet in the rain, which is a big plus! The seating inside the shop is not that many, so you may have to wait a bit during peak hours! However, I really recommend trying the curry here! It's seriously delicious! I had the Dramatic Aigake Curry, and it has a unique flavor that you won't find elsewhere! I'll definitely go back and try out different menu items!

The owner of a trendy alternative shop in Naka-Sakacho ran a curry restaurant. They offer a fusion of Osaka spice curry, dashi curry, and Western-style curry, which tasted delicious. I personally recommend adding an egg on top. While the popular choice here is to add cutlets, I opted for croquettes as they are more appealing to female customers. The crispy texture was delightful. I would like to come back again. One issue is that customers are asked to order through a QR code. When I opened the QR code, I was automatically added as a friend on LINE, and then directed to the ordering screen. This system is tough for those who do not exchange LINE contacts with everyone, and my iPhone has a 1GB limit, making it difficult to connect at the end of the month. Since there is no Wi-Fi in the store, the screen was not progressing smoothly, and I ended up ordering directly from the staff. It would be more convenient if they had a tablet for ordering instead.

The clear broth curry was refreshing. The seafood curry had a delayed spiciness that was stimulating, allowing for a variety of enjoyable spiciness levels in one satisfying dish. Drizzling it with yuzu vinegar added a refreshing touch, creating a surprisingly delicious combination that I could get used to.

Just a 2-minute walk from Nakazakicho Station Exit 1, this place used to be a ramen shop but has now transformed into a spot offering trendy spice curry and European-style curry. I sat at the counter in the back and ordered Nakazaki Cutlet Curry for 1,290 yen. The curry, with thinly sliced beef, had a mild flavor and a bit of richness when sauce was added. The pork cutlet was thin and didn't showcase the quality of the domestic pork, so the croquette might be a better choice. Since there seemed to be extra rice, make sure to eat it all up.

The most popular dish is the curry tonkatsu with toppings for 1800 yen (tax included). The curry with a rich broth is very delicious. I chose medium spiciness, but it is quite mild and easy to eat. You can enjoy changing the flavor by adding condiments on the table halfway through until the end.

Osaka/Nakazakicho Dramatic Curry Golden Nakazaki. ✔️Dramatic Combination Curry. This restaurant's No.1 curry is the Keema and Beef curry half and half, which is delicious twice in one dish! First, enjoy the gentle taste with the dashi and rice, like ochazuke. Next, have the Keema curry with rice, then the Beef curry, and finally mix the dashi with the Keema. You can enjoy various flavors all at once with this curry, and they were all incredibly delicious. We also ordered an egg on the side, which had a great flavor that paired well with the curry. When you visit the competitive district of Nakazakicho, be sure to stop by.♡. #DramaticCurryGoldenNakazaki #Curry #CurryRice #CurryRestaurant #Dashi #DashiCurry #NakazakichoCafe #NakazakichoLunch #NakazakichoGourmet #Nakazakicho #KeemaCurry

I missed the opening hours of the pasta restaurant I was planning to go to, but luckily I found a curry restaurant while walking. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the staff were really nice and relaxing! The assorted curry was delicious and I enjoyed the variety of flavors!

This time, I visited Dramatic Curry Golden Nakazaki in Nagasaki-cho, Osaka. This restaurant is a spice curry specialty shop that is obsessed with the umami of dashi and spices, using 8 types of seafood dashi in their curry. The dish I had was the Dramatic Combination Curry for 1,390 yen. This time, the combination was beef and dashi keema. You can choose the level of spiciness from 3 levels, and I chose the medium level this time. It was just the right amount of spiciness, and adding the sauces and chili oil on the table made it even more delicious. Personally, I really liked the chili oil. This curry shop is affiliated with the Ramen Kozou chain, so be sure to give it a try! ☺️

Today, I had a business meeting in Nakazaki-cho and visited a client. I wandered around the shopping street and was drawn in by a delicious smell. I tried the Dramatic Ai-gake Curry (¥1,390 tax included) this time. The combination of broth and curry was innovative! The spiciness and the umami of the broth blended perfectly, making it mild but with depth. The aroma of the broth that lingers in the nose is also great. It was so delicious that the curry turned into a drink! There are condiments on the table for flavor enhancement. There were counter seats and table seats available. The restroom was located on the second floor and it was clean and tidy. Non's life has become richer once again. Thank you for the meal.

Had lunch with my husband at this place I had been curious about. I think I ordered the combination plate...I can't remember. Topped with egg and cilantro. The broth was lightly surrounding the curry. Even just the broth alone had a delicious taste. You can choose the level of spiciness for the curry, and I went with medium, but I could have handled it a bit spicier. In Osaka, where there are many famous curry shops, it's quite difficult to make a curry that leaves a lasting impression and makes you want to come back for more. I'll be rooting for them.

After completing the Curry Top 100 shops on Tabelog, I have been exploring highly rated restaurants to find my favorite spots. I came across this restaurant in a magazine and decided to visit as I was in Nakazaki-cho for work. It was my first visit. Location: 1-6-18 Nakazaki, Kita-ku, Osaka Access: 1 minute walk from Exit 1 of Osaka Metro Nakazaki-cho Station - Arrived at the restaurant at 1:40 PM. The interior had 5 counter seats and 10 table seats. I was seated at a table and instructed to order via QR code. The main menu included: - Dramatic Combination Curry - Nakazaki Beef Curry - Golden Dashi Keema After some contemplation, I decided to try the Dramatic Combination Curry, which was labeled as the most popular. At this time, there was only one other group of customers in the restaurant. - 1:50 PM: The curry was served, a half-and-half combination of Dashi Keema and Beef Curry. The clear broth was flavorful and I mixed it with the Keema. It had a unique taste unlike any curry I had tried before, with a good amount of spices. It was slightly less spicy, so I added some Sichuan chili oil from the table to adjust the heat level to my liking, making it even more delicious. There were two other condiments available for flavor variation, which was a nice touch. - 2:00 PM: Finished eating and paid the bill. The restaurant, opened in April 2022, was clean and pleasant. Thank you for reading until the end! If you could 'like,' 'follow,' 'save the restaurant,' or leave a 'comment,' it would be greatly appreciated as it would motivate me for future reviews. Thank you!

The current trend in the curry industry is said to be a return to using dashi (broth) and katsu curry. You can experience both at the same time at Golden Nakazaki, produced by Mr. Mishima, a curry expert. Located right near exit 1 of Osaka Metro Nakazaki-cho. Self-service water. Order through a QR code on your smartphone. I ordered the Golden Dashi Keema Set with domestic Sangen pork katsu on top, with extra keema for a total of 2030 yen. A bold pricing strategy. The tonkatsu keema curry was served. It had a tonkatsu-don and miso soup vibe. Appealing visual presentation. The Sangen pork katsu was thin but large. Is the bonito flakes aiming for synergy with the soup? The broth is a golden broth made from 8 types of fish and seafood. Vegetables, cilantro, pickles, cold tofu. Overall view. To dispel the tonkatsu-don image, I added extra keema to make it more like curry, so there was plenty of it. The keema had a normal level of spiciness. The combination of tonkatsu on keema curry was delicious. Finally, it was time to pour the broth. Pouring the broth. The tonkatsu became moist and the deliciousness increased. Cilantro. Bonito flakes on top of the tonkatsu. Enhancing the double amino acid effect. Purple cabbage. Pickles. The minced meat and broth also complemented each other well. Double amino acid effect. Under the tonkatsu, there was a decent amount of keema. Quite tasty. Couldn't stop saying how delicious it was. Continued eating further. Finished the Sangen pork katsu. Added chili oil for a change in flavor. Adding this much broth to eat is innovative. Menu design considering the double amino acid effect. However, the question remained whether this was really curry. Well, as long as it's delicious, anything goes.

Located in Naka-Zakamachi, Osaka, this Showa retro dramatic curry is a must-try(*^^*) Conveniently situated in a shopping street near the station♪ The innovative use of a clear dashi in the roux gives it a unique flavor, and you can choose the level of spiciness. The lingering spiciness is addictive! They also offer limited edition curries, so I want to try a different type next time. The Dramatic Aigake Curry with Mango Lassi is recommended!

I visited a curry restaurant in Nakazaki-cho shopping street for lunch. I ordered the Dramatic Aigake Curry with Domestic Three-Element Pork Cutlet on top for 1,848 yen, and added a flavored egg for 165 yen. It was very delicious as you can enjoy two types of curry sauce! The spiciness is mild, so if you prefer it spicy, I recommend adjusting the spiciness next time! Please be aware that you need to order through a QR code!

The novelty is amazing. The curry that you eat by mixing with the clear broth jelly is outstanding. I want to eat it again. The spiciness is just right, the appearance is good, and the bonito flakes are doing a great job. Normally, when it comes to regular spiced curry, the side dishes have acidity or bitterness, but here, it was a side dish that was conscious of being Japanese-style. It goes really well with Japanese-style curry. I want to eat it again.
